about

inspired by Gary Gilmore and The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer.

lyrics

I am my own father
My own right hand
Don’t lead this horse to water
Don’t make demands

Cause I wasn’t made for this kind of ride
I can’t get on board, I can’t pick a side
I won’t let you mold me in this cage.

So, lightning crackles, sparks they fly around me
So, light this candle, cure this life of travesty

Everyone gather ‘round now to watch me die
Don’t tell me you don’t know that it’s the best thing for you and I

I spit on your morals
Ignored them all
I stood on my laurels
And didn’t see the wall

I never got well, I never got right
Cause I never wanted to give up this fight
Against no one, anyone, everyone I could find

So lightning crackles, sparks they fly around me
So light this candle, cure this life of travesty

Everyone gather ‘round now to watch me die
Don’t tell me you don’t know that it’s the best thing for you and I

I’m on fire, now it’s over

Everyone gather ‘round now and watch me die
Don’t tell me you don’t know that it’s the best thing for you and I

Everyone gather ‘round now to see my last ride
Maybe someday you’ll see me in another life
